PoliceLogs By Shirley Felder In between rain storms Nov. 5, I looked out the window and it was sunny but cool. I turned to my husband, who was peace- fully reading the morning paper, and remarked that this was the day. The day for what, he in- nocently inquired. My an- swer was that the soil was not too wet and not too dry, so, it is time to har- vest the peanuts. Sadie Belle, our dog, looked ex- cited, but my husband just looked at me in a ques- tioning way. In the interest of full disclosure, I want to let everyone know that I am a dreamer and my hus- band is a doer. He had a good idea what "harvest- ing the peanuts" meant. Bless his heart. Last April we had planted 24 Red Valen- cia peanut kernels, and they all came up. They made a spreading plant of about 30 inches with two sets of opposite leaves on each stem. In time, yel- low sweet pea-like self pol- linating flowers appeared. After pollination the flow- ers dipped down and de- veloped pegs that pushed into the ground. They then developed pods on each peg and became a peanut. Fascinating. On this perfect day, the dog, my husband (with a pitchfork in his hand) and I, went to the peanut gar- den. He loosened the soil with the pitchfork and turned the plants over. To my amazement each plant had at least 40 to 50 pea- nuts on their pegs. This was exciting. We picked the plants up, with pea- nuts attached, and spread them to dry on tarps in- side the shop. We let them dry for about two weeks and then we shook and picked the peanuts off of the plants. We ended up with about six pounds of dried raw peanuts. The following is an ex- cerpt from the Red Bluff Beacon in 1870, "The Te- hama County peanuts which were grown by the Chinese, were the sweet- est we ever tasted". I also found a farm statistic from the census of 1880: "190,000 pounds of pea- nuts were harvested, being the crop from 100 acres in Tehama County. The pop- ulation of Tehama County now being about 8,500 people". What an interest- ing fact. In my research I found this article from The Weekly Journal Miner, No- vember 1877. It has noth- ing to do with peanuts, but I can only imagine the sight and the sounds. " A drove of 3007 turkeys crossed the Sacramento River on the bridge at Red Bluff, Ca. on the 27th of October on their way to Chico, where they will be fattened up on stubble fields for holiday market". The idea of 3,000 plus tur- keys marching down the road boggles the mind. Back to the peanuts. Am I glad we planted peanuts? Yes. Did I have fun watch- ing them grow? Yes. Would I plant them again? Proba- bly not and for this reason. When I was a little girl living in the Squaw Hill area in Corning over 65 years ago, Henry Martin, a farmer in the area at that time and father of my best friend, grew some pea- nuts. I remember him giv- ing me a handful of raw peanuts in the shell to eat. I cracked them open and they were sweet and so good. Since then it was my dream to someday plant some peanuts. My hus- band, the doer, by his hard work and his time, and as he has always done, made that dream come true for me this year. The Dreamer and the Doer, what a team, I am truly blessed.

Information was filed in the superior court Thurs- day against Will Sims charging him with the ne- farious blunder of injuring the town jail in the town of Tehama, on or about November 16th. The de- fendant in this case is an itinerant decorator with a bum leg and an appetite for the juice that jollies. As a decorator Mr. Sims is not a success, particularly in burnt wood. This opinion based on the work he did on the floor, walls and ceil- ing in the south cell of the Tehama bastile. The work was so bad in fact that the authorities of Tehama claim that he put the cell out of business entirely, making it an unfit habita- tion for the guests of the Town Marshal Froome. And so Mr. Sims is in trouble. For the job of in- juring a public jail he may be fined $10,000 or be sent to the peniten- tiary for a period of five years. It would look like a big price to pay for a poor job, but jails come high and the one at Tehama is built of brick and has two cells. Unless however some unforeseen technicality arises Sims will be held accountable for only one- half of it. This ought to re- duce the expense to Will Sims to $5,000. This is not so bad for a good decora- tor when he is really dec- orating. — Dec. 29, 1916 100 YEARS AGO...
